Memories of the glory days were re-lived at Histon when the club held a special ‘legends’ day at the Glass World Stadium, reuniting former players who helped oversee the club’s rise to the top tier of non-League football.

Former managers Steve Fallon and Alan Doyle took charge of the two teams which featured a wide range of players who have featured at Histon in the last 20 years or so.

The team managed by Alan Doyle at Histon FC's legends day.

The likes of Neil Andrews, Jamie Barker, Neil Kennedy and Adie Cambridge were in the squad managed by Fallon.

Current first-team manager Lance Key, Gary Haylock, Wayne Goddard, Colin Vowden and more recent players such as Nick Freeman, Max York and Remy Clerima turned out for Doyle.

The result was an entertaining encounter which ended 6-4 to Fallon’s team.

Kennedy scored a hat-trick, with Peter Munns netting twice and Andrews scoring with a diving header.

Freeman’s treble and one from Haylock accounted for Doyle’s team’s goals.

“It was an excellent day,” said Fallon.

“It was a great turnout of ex-players and the follow-up afterwards was excellent. Watching the likes of Adie, Jamie, Neil, Kendo (Kennedy) and players like that again made you realise what good players they are.

“It was very pleasing that all these players could come along.”

Fallon said there was a healthy turnout of supporters as well as friends and families of the players.
